Cybersecurity
Risk Management and Strategy
We employ a cybersecurity program which we believe is appropriate for the potential of cybersecurity threats faced by us and is built upon a set of
policies, procedures and standards supported by training and education. Our information systems employ local and cloud storage and recovery services from various third parties. We have established processes to assess, identify, and manage risks
from cybersecurity threats as part of our broader enterprise-wide risk management system and processes and engaged third-party consultants to assess and gather threat intelligence and cyber risk trends and conduct assessments and testing of our cybersecurity procedures and protections , which is overseen by our Board of Directors
through our Audit Committee, along with our executive management.
Our cybersecurity program focuses on all areas of our business, including cloud-based environments, devices used by employees and contractors,
facilities, networks, applications, vendors, disaster recovery, business continuity and controls and safeguards enabled through business processes and tools. We continuously monitor for unauthorized access to our information technology systems
and identify potential security threats through various automated detection solutions. To protect the security of our information infrastructure and protect our systems and information from unauthorized access, we draw on the knowledge and
insights of an external information technology consultant who acts as our primary IT administrator and employ an array of third-party tools and technologies.
As of the date of this Annual Report, we have not encountered any risks from cybersecurity threats that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company, including its business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. For more information on our cybersecurity related risks, see “General Risks
Factors” included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Governance and Role of Management and the Board
Our Chief Operating Officer leads our cybersecurity program and reports, with respect to cybersecurity incidents, to the Company’s Chief Financial Officer . Our Chief Financial Officer reports directly to the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee, which is the principal committee charged with the Board’s risk management oversight, including cybersecurity risks. The Chief Financial Officer or Chief Operating Officer briefs the Board and Audit Committee on the
effectiveness of our cybersecurity program quarterly. The Chief Operating Officer oversees the operation of our cybersecurity program and has over 20 years of executive experience
overseeing risk management and internal controls. The Chief Financial Officer is informed about and monitors the prevention, detection, mitigation, and remediation of cybersecurity
incidents through the Financial Officer’s oversight of the Company’s information technology function and supervision of the Company’s IT administrator. We have not experienced any cybersecurity threats or incidents that have had a material impact on our business to date.
